Serpentine belt somehow slipped off and wrapped itself around the fan on my way in to work today. Spent time at lunch putting on a spare that snapped immediately on startup.
While the belt was off, I spun all the accessories to be sure they weren't seized and they all spin freely with no noise. I did notice coolant coming out of the area of the water pump, but it was still spinning freely, so I can't imagine that was the cause? (But yet another issue to address...)
What is making my Jeep eat belts? The only other thing I can think of is the power steering pump has been leaking, but I keep it filled.
